[TI-89 BASIC] Runing archived programs in BASIC
mdjenkins86:
One of the reasons why you don't see many 68k App games is because the Flash App made with TI SDK are very unflexable. They are confined to menus and such. Of course, it would be possible to create a graphical RPG in FLASH 89, but it might very well kill you. That is for super advanced developers from a time hereforth unknown to man. The code is very close to 68K which is very difficult and not very well known. C is the highest that many are willing to go.

I see now... Still, there are some very useful 68k Apps out there.
And yeah, I can't imagine anyone these days going for 68k ASM when C is available...
mdjenkins86:
C is king...68K or ASM is faster than C, but much harder to do. 68K is uber low level.
arti:
I also heard that Assembly 68k is faster than C - it makes sense that it is, but as long as you don't need to program games with crazy raycasters, C will do just fine :laugh:
C programming was the main reason why I bought my 89T. However, for the first 8 months or so I was completely under the spell of BASIC89, so I started C only a couple of weeks ago. :(
DJ Omnimaga:
Well assembly is faster because its the native machine language of the motorolla 68000 processor. C is a complied language translated to asm but its not 100% optimised. It's nice that C is avaliable for 68k calcs, I wish we had it on z80 calcs.
about flash apps I dont think its necessary on the 68ks because it has lot of RAM alerady and it can run archived programs
